I have installed coppermine and tried to batch add pictures. Although I have CHMOD 777 the "userpics" folders, I am still told by the system that it hasen't been done ??? I have other systems using CHMOD on these servers and everything works OK. Any suggestion?

re-read the docs (http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/manual.php#batch_add_pics): it says to chmod the "albums" directory (the userpics is with the albums dir). You mustn't ftp-upload to userpics! Also, you may have to CHMOD to 755 instead of 777 (docs (http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/manual.php#how) again).
As a third option, you may have to check safe mode issues (http://safe%20mode%20issues).
There may be nicer ways to tell you, I'm sorry this posting just looks like one big RTFM, but actually you really should (read the manual, that is)... ;)

Damm it, I hate to be told that but I guess I deserved it since I haven't posted enough info. I actualy read the docs and checked the safe mode issue beforehand. However, I have discovered one issue: my ftp client doesn't chmod correctly the folders and I had to use CPanel. It is now OK but I had then some wiered errors. Get borred, deleted everything and re-installed from scratch and guess what... I works perfectly!
Sorry for your time, thanks,
